Do you need to know about stage blood? Weller discusses the history of stage blood. You know what I like about folks like Steven J. Weller? He actually teaches you about stuff. There are people in the world who feel that the knowledge they have is somehow proprietary and they are afraid of other people learning from them because somehow that decreases their own power. That's a load of hooey, the more you teach the more you know. But some people believe it.
Anyway, Weller's blog is great.

The "public" is one thing. Buyers are another. Even Netflix and Amazon are pretending they're 4k now. So even if it's really compressed, they get to say it's 4K. But I think the issue is what the distributors want, for whatever reason. And word is, they're gonna start wanting 4K...

I bet it's gonna be a case of "they want" but it's not necessary. Hell, I haven't seen a movie yet that's advertised as "Shot in 4K!" because nobody cares. And the distributors are only going to REALLY start to care when audiences do, because that's where the money is coming from...
